Rule #1: Play the game to the limit. Damn the consequences.

Shotokan in the USA here

Heck yeah. Unfortunley, I do not hink it is a very big style in the US.

 

how do you like Goju? I think it is a good style, because it is one of the few styles in the US to include conditioning.

I do shudokan, well I'm going to anyway.

Personally i started in GoJu cause it was what was available. But now i love it because I enjoy my classes, i enjoy the low stances, the katas, the ideas, the encorperation of both the hard style, and the soft calm style that it brings to karate.... meh did that make sense? :P

Heck yeah, another good Karate style. I am moving to arizona in the fall and there is a Kyokushinkai karate school in that town. i think i may end up taking kyoshin. Any tips on how to see the quality of a Kyoshin dojo?

I practice Konigun Ninjutsu myself.

SHOTOKAN here. For me it's the best :) Goju, wado and so on ... related to my style, so I consider them OK too. Destiny put me into Shotokan. I could have been one of those as well.

 

Count me to some Judo, too. Love it.
